Question 1137Deck Safety70% to pass
In illustration D014SA below, which item number correctly identifies the external lifelines?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 12.
In illustration D014SA, item number 12 correctly identifies the external lifelines. The external lifelines are a safety feature required on vessels to provide a secure handhold for crew members working on the deck. This requirement is specified in the US Coast Guard regulations for commercial vessels, which must be understood by candidates taking the Captain's License Examination.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correspond to the external lifelines in the illustration. Item numbers 1, 8, and 16 identify other features of the vessel, such as the railing, the flag, and the ventilator, respectively, but not the external lifelines.
